Cinders: A Chicken Cinderella by Jan Brett

4.0

In this fowl retelling of a classic fairy tale, Cinders is shunned by her fellow hens and left behind when it's time for the ball. With the help of a fairy hen, she is able to look her best and turns many a neck at the event, but must flee by midnight. In the end, true honesty wins everyone over and there is a bright and shimmering egg for those who wait. Neo liked this, especially the wonderful drawings. He was, however, a little creeped out by all the dressed-up chickens in their finery. I suppose some chickens are only meant to be dressed with breadcrumbs and thyme!
